I developed a "practice" professional development portfolio using the CDR PDP Dream Wizard software. This assignment was crucial as I am going to be drafting my real PDP very soon! I became more familiar with the competencies required and how to develop a plan to meet them.
We attended the Merrimack College Professional Development Retreat in February 2023. At the retreat, we worked on developing a personal brand, communication skills, interview skills, and so much more! We had the opportunity to chat with representatives from local businesses and practice asking and receiving interview questions.
